The Property
This charming character barn is located in the heart of the popular town of Loddon, quietly tucked away on a no-through road with views of the 15th Century Church. The property was converted in 1976 having been built in the 19th Century for the neighbouring farmhouse and has since been beautifully renovated by the current owners in the last few years. Pushing open the double glazed doors brings one into a spacious entrance hall with fitted bench seat and doors to the kitchen/breakfast room as well as the utility room which was previously a large garage and workshop, and could be easily converted should anyone wish to do so. Fitted oak units can be found in the generous kitchen with the units on the far side having been painted in a Farrow & Ball 'Cooking Apple Green' and with white quartz mid-stone worktops above. There is ample space for a table and chairs and also found is an integrated dishwasher, fridge, Neff oven, induction hob, cream Rayburn and a butler sink from which one can enjoy the views of the garden. The cloakroom is found off a light hallway, with a door leading through to the sitting room with exposed brick fireplace and multi-fuel stove. French doors lead off the sitting room into a vaulted garden room which opens into the pretty walled garden and also features underfloor heating and a charming brick and flint wall. The master bedroom is of generous proportions and enjoys fitted cupboards, a contemporary en-suite, as well as idyllic views of the flint church spire and across to the Chet river. Two further bedrooms can be found beyond a modern family bathroom, with both rooms benefitting from fitted cupboards and lovely outlooks. Climbing the second staircase off the breakfast room brings one to a wonderful vaulted room, with twin Juliet balconies, which is currently used as a second reception room due to its sublime view. The fourth bedroom with fitted cupboards is found just off the reception room and opens to an en-suite, making this space hugely versatile and could be utilised as an annexe.
